Dia De Los Muertos 2012

=========================

Taken on November 02, 2012

=========================

Dia de los Muertos 2012. 

The tradition in my family is to visit at the cemetery. Liking far away from where I grew up means I can't visit during dia de los muertos. 

This is a photo of a pillow that made me remember the celebrations.

Audio: Narration by me. Random guitar notes that I created on a mini guitar that I got at the Arizona State Fair.

Dia De Los Muertos 2013!

Dia de los Muertos takes place on the 2nd of November.  In 2013 the First Friday event in Phoenix was November1st, so they had a Dia De Los Muertos theme for it. We pained our faces before heading out for the event.  

These is  a photo collage of the photos we took of our painted faces.

Audio: Narration by myself and some random mini guitar notes that I created. 

* I don't know how to play guitar, so it is whatever it came out. HAHA!

Halloween 2013!

=========================

Taken on October 31, 2013

=========================

These are the photos of Halloween 2013!  

For every Halloween I've had the desire to take photos and/or videos. After having taken so many the year before, Halloween 2012, I took just  a smaller number of photos and couldn't find any videos. If I find some videos I'll upload them at a later time, but for now these are all I could find.

No enormous prop this year. Just a Happy Halloween sign and the lady prop that we've used previously.

Audio:  Slowed down the intro of the song Scorn by Portishead that I have from the soundtrack from the movie The Craft and other bits of it and weaved it a bit along with slowed down intro of the song Europa by Monica Naranjo from the Tarantula album.

=========================

Taken on October 31, 2013

As you can probably tell by now, I enjoy taking multiple photos and/or videos, specially on holidays like Halloween. I also like making multiple photo and/or video collages of them. 

This particular year I took photos and videos of the annual Halloween Pumpkin Decorating Contest at work with both the SONY Cyber-shot camera that I had at the time as well as the iPod Touch 4th Gen that  I had at the time. 

I've previously uploaded the videos individually.

Halloween 2013 - Pumpkin Decorating Contest

=========================

Taken on October 31, 2013

=========================

This is the quick video I took of the annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest at work. This year I had no involvement in the decorating of the pumpkin that my team did and so I can't quite remember which one it was that our team decorated. #Halloween #Samhain #pumpkin Audio: No music added, just from the video itself.

Strawberry Shortcake Hat Craft

=========================

Taken on April 2005

=========================

Around April 2005, I created these small hats to go along with a Strawberry Shortcake themed birthday party. 

I purchased straw hats, fabric, strawberry stickers and buttons, ribbon and used a glue gun to wrap the fabric and embellished with the stickers, buttons, and ribbon to create these Strawberry Shortcake themed hats that were used as part of the centerpieces with strawberry candy. 

Narration: By me.

Audio: A slowed down of the intro of Halcyon and On and On by Orbital from the album Orbital 2.

Groovin' Gila Monsters! - Team Mascot Coloring Activity

=========================

From 2001  

=========================

Hello! Welcome to my Groovin' Gila Monsters Video. 

It's a team mascot coloring activity from 2001. 

After being at Target Stores for a year, I moved over to Target Financial Services from 2001. Now it's Financial and Retail Services. The team that I was in, we ended up naming it Groovin' Gila Monsters. 

We had someone sketch out a mascot for our team's name. Then, I used an old program to do a digital version of that we could then have as a coloring activity & as a mascot, that we could have team mates color. The actual activity, I think, it was either towards the end of 2001. Perhaps, sometime in 2002. I was in that team until 2004. I went ahead and put in 2001 since that was the year that I joined that particular team, and it seemed fitting since I don't have the  specific dates of when we did this specific coloring activity.

But, there you have it.

At the bottom you are seeing each particular Gila Monster as it was colored by different teammates that I had at the time. Anyways, this was a fun activity for that particular team. One of my, the first and favorite teams that I was in during my Target Financial and Retail Services years, TFST at the time. BYE!

Narration: By me.

Audio: Slowed down of the beginning of the song titled Percussions Rhythm from Buddha Bar IV.

Halloween 2012!

=========================

Taken on October 31, 2012

=========================

Finally! The compilation of photos and  videos of Halloween 2012! You've seen most photos and videos of these in the separate videos I made for 2012. The props, the costume dress-up, the pumpkins and jock-o-lanterns, but there finally selected photos from 2012. 

Halloween 2012 definitely took more photos and videos due to taking them using the iPod Touch as well as the Sony camera that I had at the time.

Audio: The intro parts of the song Empezar de '0' and Amar Sin Ser Amada by Thalia, both from the El Sexto Sentido album and super slowed down for that creepy sound.

P.S. I really like slowing the music for that creepy type sound if you've noticed. Ha! :)

Halloween 2012 - The Prop!

=========================

Taken on October 31, 2012

=========================

This is a photo collage of some of the photos that I took of the main prop used for decoration. I made sure to take  plenty of  photos of the prop this time and maybe I took too many, he he.

Not sure really what we called this prop, so going to call it Molten Lava Creeper. What would you call it?

Audio: The song Amar Sin Ser Amada by Thalia from the El Sexto Sentido album and super slowed down for that creepy sound.
